The Marijuana Impact Group

The Marijuana Impact Group (MIG) strengthens public safety efforts by providing law enforcement agencies and policymakers with evidence-based intelligence on the evolving impacts of marijuana legislation. Through the collection and analysis of validated data, MIG equips officers, decision-makers, and communities with the tools needed to address marijuana-related threats to public health and safety.

Officer Training

We offer focused programs that address the public safety impacts of marijuana use, legalization, trafficking trends, and impaired driving. Armed with factual, real-world intelligence, law enforcement and public officials are better positioned to develop effective strategies, shape informed policy, and enhance operational readiness in response to today’s marijuana landscape.
